MSU Billings hosts interactive session with legislators

Billings area residents have a chance to talk directly to lawmakers this week to get
an update on current activity in the Montana Legislature.

This is the latest technologically interactive meeting that the Yellowstone area delegation
will hold with residents during the 2011 session. The meetings are coordinated by
area legislators, Montana State University Billings, the city of Billings, Yellowstone
County, the Billings Chamber of Commerce/ Convention Visitors Bureau, St. Vincent
Healthcare and The Billings Clinic.

The next meeting will be held Thursday, March 17 at noon at the MSU Billings Downtown
Campus, 214 N. Broadway. The session is free and open to the public.

The meeting will be carried through a Met-Net link between Helena and Billings. Legislators
from the Yellowstone River valley and nearby counties will be linked in Helena to
the MSU Billings Downtown Campus. Legislators will be available to answer questions
and give insights into the session.
